This Company has been established for the purpose of the a property in the kingdom o f Sweden, known as the Gelliva g r Estates, with the view of developing its great resources. The property comprises (A) Abjut 1.200,000 acres cf land, 900,000 acres of which are freehold, and the remaining 300,000 Ores can be made of the same tenure. More than 500,000 acres consist of good forests of red and white pities 100,000 acres are already under cul tivation or fit tor it ; and fur. her extens i v e districts will become available for agricultural purposes. (B) The Gellivara iron bed is probably the largest and most productive in the worid, extending over nearly three square miles. The ore consists partly of hematite and partly of protoxide of iron, without any visible trace of pyrite, yielding on the average 65 per cent. of pure metal. The mountain was surveyed in 1857 by a practical English mining engineer, Mr. Thomas, F.G.S., and he reported his opinion to be that— ' By adopting a systema!ie mode of working. there may be readily extracted from seven to eight millions of tons of very fine magnetic ironstone. readily obtainable by levels, and without the application of any draining machinery; and that, no doubt, even this large quantity might be materially in creased by removal of top rubbish and vegetation on the line of bearing of the ironstone, before it will be found necessary to apply any machinery for drainage." The mountain was likewise inspected in 1852 by Professor Erdmann, Chief Director of the Royal Geological Surveys in Sweden, and, according to his report, a great number of the veins arc estimated at from to 200 feet in thickness, and about 1,000 feet in length, and the produce of one single vein may fairly be calculated to equal more than three million tons of ore. (C) 215 farms, nine water and one steam sawmill, two blast furnaces, four ironworks, a ship-building yard, &c. The greater portion of this property was purchased from the late King of Sweden by an association of merchants in Sweden and Norway, whose operations have been confined to the wood business and to a gradual extension of the cultiva tion of the land. The wood business yields very favourable results. The annual production is about 10,000 St. Petersburg standards, or about 33,000 loads, costing on an average £ 3, and selli n g readily for shipment ' to England, France, Spain. &n, at prices equal to an average of £1 ss. per standard, tree on board at the shipping ports, thus showing a 'profit of £1 ss. rer stan dard. This production can b considerably increased by the erection of more sawmills. Tice value of the iron ore Is increased by the circumstance that, without encroaching on the timb.:r adapted for more valuable purposes, tie forests of the estates and the waste wood at Lite different sawmills ive an abundant ply of charcoal, at a low cost, so that 25,000 tons of pig iron can readily be made at a cost of £1 19s. per ton, free on board at the shipping port, while the present selling price is above £4 per ton. A ready sale ef the ore nay be safely calculated on at the estimated price of 15s. per ton, free on board, at the s' ipping port. t.. the owners of the for sts n d s - wnr lls on both the Swedish and Finland side of the Gulf of Bothnia, who have now lane quanti'ies of wood annually wasted, which they oou d turn into value by making charcoal of it if they could obtain good iron ore at a moderate cost for smelting. The only obstacle for working the mineral property has bee , . the difficulty of transport of the ore from the maintain to the furnaces shipping port. The Sw , dish G.,vern- Went and Diet. fu ly appreciating the great benefit which the working of these valuable mines would have on the nai lona! pro -perity, have now teat their slit by granting a considerable subvention for fa2ilitating the transp , ,rt. Very careful .urveys have proved that the molt cc nomi cal means of transport will be by a ra lway from the iron mountain to the river Lule, a distance f about sixty EnJi..ll miles, and by further making two short canal • o avoid rapids and fat s, which will render that river navigab e to the port of G tddvik in the Gu f of Bothnia. The entire cost of this railway, including rolling stock, and of the two canals, will not £232,000, and t oward: i the Swedi h Government and exeeed Diet have granted a ,n! - ventton to the .mount of 850,000 rix dollars, or about X 48,000. This Company has contacted phrchase all these valu able estates for the sum of £225,070, in order to carry on and extend the wood busine •s, to extend the cultivation ot the lair], to work the mineral wealth of the property, and to cons ruct for this purpose the railway from the Geliivara iron mount , in to the river Lule and the two.canat • on that river. For these purposes a capital of £500,000 is required. The present stock, about 8,000 standards of manufactured wood goods, will be taken over from the vendors at their actual cost price, whereby a considerable profit wi :1 be directly gained by the Company. Three years will be required to construct the railroad and the canals, so as to bring the iron business into full operation. The returns of the und ertakin g may then be fairly esti mated as under :- Ist. From the sale of 60,000 tons of iron ore to pro prietors of furnaces in Sweden and Finland, at a £18,004 profit of 65. per ton 2d. From the production of 25,000 tons of pig iron at the Company's own furnaces at a profit of £2 Ist per ton 3d. From 15,000 standards of wood at a profit of 18,750 £1 iss, per standard 700 4th.

'on the share capi , al irrespective of returns from land, probable increase in sale of ore, and profits to be derived from the Company making bar iron and steel. During the first three years required for t the income the full develop e ment of the property, the vendors guarantee teat on the paid-up caital shall amount to at least 6 per cent per a nnum payable ha p lf-yearly, and they have bound th emselves to make up any deficiency in such amounts ; as security for the due fulfilment of this guarantee, the vendors leave in the hands of the Company £50,000 of the purchase-money, which, together with the profits•of the wood business, forms an ample guaraw ee fund. The map and schedule of the estates, estimates of clst of railroad and canals, and estimates of cost of production of iron and wood, together with the reportof Mr. t homas, and of Mr. Alexander Erdmann, and a letter trm the Minister of the Interior, in Sweden , bearing testimony to the great in terest of the Swedish Government in the undertaking, may be seen at the Company's Offices.

With another keys which was also found on Trabuco, they opened the wooden box bought at the trunkmaker's, Liard, and in it were discovered revolver cases, three packages of percussion caps, and an instrument for adjusting the nipples of the bombs. " In the writing table of Greco was found a tra velling bag which one of Trabuco's keys opened ; it contained, rolled up in a handkerchief, two bombs charged with powder, and with 12 nipples. The bag contained, moreover, an instrument for screwing on the nipples, two papers of powder, and a formid able revolver, ready loaded and primed. They dis covered, too, in the possession of Greco and concealed in various ways, several documents, some of them emanating from Mazzini. " At 7 o'clock the same evening Imperatori and Maspoli were arrested in a wine shop. They were conducted to the Hotel de Naples, where a search was made in their presence. Nothing of a suspicious kind was found in Imperatori's room ; but the drawers of Maspoli's clothes chest contained four bombs charged with powder, each with six nipples, a revolver loaded and primed, a package of powder, one of bullets, three boxes of percussion caps, two poniards, and divers others objects appertaining to firearms. With these things discovered before their eyes, it seemed difficult for the accused to deny their criminal projects. They at first attempted to main tain that they had no culpable intention; but they had eventually to make up their minds to a full avowal. Greco was the first to do so, and his de clarations, now corroborated in the essential part by his accomplices, unfold in a precise manner, the origin and the details of the plot. " At the head of this plot is Mazzini. 'Phis ardent conspirator, already condemned by default on the 3d September, 1857, by the Assize Court of the Seine, was found guilty of having formed, with car-, tain persons named Tibaldi, Bartoloti, and others a plot for the assassination of the Emperor, and has not ceased to attack, in the person of Napoleon 111., the principle of order and authority of which the revolution ha the implacable enemy. During the trial of 1857 papers were seized which revealed these plots, and it is requisite to refer to them in order to show the criminal persistence of the chief of the party of action in Italy. " On the 10th of June, 1857, Mazzini wrote to his fellow-conspirators, Massarenti and Campanella, these words The carrying out this attempt is a vital affair for the country. . . . It is nearly the whole question, . . . The affair of Paris is more than ever desirable and urgent.' He recom mended them to call to mind all he had told as to the line of conduct they were to follow; he informed them of the means of procuring funds ; and he added, I would give millions, but 1 cannot.' At this period he eg;in wrote on the subject of the conspi racy which was to spread over all Italy, but which he had not been able to bring to maturity, l'he structure that has been raised with infinite pains and unhoped-for success up to yesterday has been overthrown. . . . It is enough to make one dash his head against the wall. Ido not do so, however; r e have to begin again.' 'NLlzzni was preparing for 18(33 a vast revolu tionary movement, the signal for which was the assassination of the Emperor. Greco, a second-class conspirator, seemed to him at once obscure enough and resolute enough for the matter to be entrusted to him. ' Greco,' said Mazzini, in a letter addressed to the Times on the 14th January last, ' is an enthu siastic patriot, who has taken an active part in the expeditions of 1860 and 1861 in the South of Italy, and as such was in relation with me.' fho rela tions of these two became intimate in April, 1863. Mazzini was then at Lugano. "The plan was then arranged, and it was decided that Greco should proceed to Paris in the beginniog of May to examine the state of affairs, and when opportunity offered, to make the attempt. At the moment of his departure Mazzini wrote, in his pre sence, a note to serve as the key of his correspon dence. In it everything was carefully provided for —the relations to be formed in Paris, with a view to baffle the vigilance of the police ; the necessity for money, arms, and assistants ; the notice to be given on the eve of the attempt. Finally, Mazzini mentioned, as the place to which letters were to be addressed to him in London, the house of a woman, named Rosselly, the daughter of a man with whom he had political relations at Lugano. The note was in these words : "' From Paris to London.—To Madame Roselly, 58, Myddelton-square, Pentonville, London.—lf you conic in contact with Murat, you are to tell him, among other things, that you have good hopes as to your military career. If you are absolutely in want of arms, you are to ask permission to dedicate to him a fantasia of your own composition, tl vote, for the piano. If you are absolutely in want of pecuniary aid, you will tell him to send yen, buying it for you, Balte's last opera. Address and hour. If there is great probability of doing the thing, you are to write an insignificant letter, and conclude, 1 will write to you in a week, in three or four days. If there be absolute want of an intimate be pleased to dell me the price of a Broad wood piano in London.' This note was one of the documents found in pos session of Greco. It is manifestly from the hand of Mazzici,as an expert has abundantly demonstrated. Together with this paper Mazzini sent a sum of money to Greco. Greco then set out for France, by way of Turin and Mont Cenis, and reached Peril early in May. Under the name of Fioretti, ant sometimes under his own name, he lodged suttee sively at the Hotel Saint-Marie, Rue de Rivcei, and at No. 198, Rue St. Honor Ce. He found a pretext, as had been agreed upon, to present himself at the house of Prince Murat, one of whose secretaries he frequently saw ; and he succeeded in this way in making the police agents, who had at first watched his movements, believe that their, surreillance was superfluous, "The Emperor had for a short time left Paris. It was decided, in a correspondence between Greco and Mazzini, that the attempt should be postponed. Greco quitted his hotel in July , leaving behind him a portmanteau containing various articles, and say ing he was going to London. He returned to Lu gano, where he again found Nlazzini. His relations with him were continual. " In consequence of measures adopted by the Swiss au thorities the Mazzinians who resided at Lugano found it expedient to disperse. Greco retired to Mendrizi o , but be ca me several times in the week to Ma zz i n i' s lodgings. It was during these interviews the organisation of the conspi racy was concluded. Mazzini from the corotnencement declares that, having gone to London, he left the addr e s s, written with his own hand, t o which letters for him should be directed, M. Flowers, 35, Thu r l o e-square, London.' ,This note was seized, with several other no t e s signed by Mazzini with his usual abbreviation, t o gether with four of his photographs, tw o o f w hi ch were signed by him. " Eight days before Mazzini quitted Lugano he left 1,300 francs with Greco. He next sent him I,ooof. from London, and again 2,000 f. in bank notes. At the same time he col lected arms. Greco received 10 bombs, revolvers, and poniards, through various I%lazzinian agents, and particu larly through an individual named Mostel, of Genoa. Finally, Greco selected, with the approbation of Mazzini, the eoteradtos who were to accompany him to France. " He had already secured the assistance of Imperatori. 1861. " Greco, who stvw him for the first timeat Naples in 18G0, met him again at Denoa in November, 1863, and again at Lugano and Mendrizio in December. Frequent meetings took place between these two men. Trabuco enjoyed the reputation of being a diving conicpirator ; and Quadric., one of Mazzini's secretaries, assured Greco that he should find in trim a devoted anxiliiry. Re entered into the plot, in which it vas seen above Lie took a particularly active par " In fine, three or four days previous to the departure of Greco for France, Imperatori came to .him to present a young man named Scaglioni, one of the T honsand' of Marsala who had been compelled to quit Pazie, a warrant having been awned against him for some set of violer.oe. Scaglioni deelared'he was determined to attempt t& re Emperor's life. Greco explained to him, in the presence oir Imperatori, the danger they were about to incur. Imp era.tori repeated that for his part he made the sacrifice of his rife, and that he was resolved, inflexible as fate. Scaglioni wished to consider the matter. He returned, and said he was determined, and asked to be permitted to join in the plot.. Greco (Omitted him, assisted him to procure a passport under the mune of Maspoli, and they prepared for their departure. The Era peror had taken up his residence in Paris for the winter. " Greco only waited for an air-gun which he was to receive from Mazzini. This weapon was Jelivered to him in Deeem- ber. The following day the four prisoners quitted Luzano, having each in his travelling bag taro of the bombs procured by Greco, who wished to take only eight of the 10 bombs received from Mazzini. They were provided with other arms and with gunpowder purchased by Gre co in Switzerland. They crossed the frontiers eight days afterwards. " The facts avowed by Greco were at first denied by the other accused. Trabuco pretended in his first interrogatory that he knew nothing of the use for which the articles found in his room were intended. But he shortly afterwards asked to be examined again, and he declared with great violence of manner, that it would be found in some pages written by him since his arrest that the bombs seized in his room were intrusted to him, that he had brought them to France, and that he meant to use them to kill the Emperor, whose death he had sworn since the affair of Aspromonte. He admitted that Greco showed him a bomb at Lugano, telling him, this is real justice ;' to which he replied, ' it is the truth.' " Trabuco, with whom were deposited the keys of the trunks in which the bombs were placed, had been particu larly charged to examine the approaches to the Opera, and it was proved that he obtained information as to the Em peror's habits. Scaglioni, alter some denials, fully corrobo rated Green's account, adding that each had threatened the the others with the disgrace of withdrawing from the plot, He explained that the bombs were to have been thrown under the Emperor's carriage, and, if necessary, the Em peror was to be put to death IT means of poniards and re volvers. As for Imperatori, he at first pretended he knew nothing of the plot, hoping, as nothing was found in his room, that his position was better than that of his accom plices. " But his letter to Mazzini, seized upon Greco, left no doubt as to the part he had performed. He in vain endea voured to make it be believed that the letter had not the bearing attributed to it; next that it had been forced from him, and that since then he had never ceased to btu the vic tim of moral constraint. He was at length obliged to admit his relations with Greco. He admitted that he introduced Scaglioni, that be was aware of the object of the journey ; that he assisted in bringing the bombs into France ; and that he knew Greco had Resumed the name of Fioretti. The other prisoners explained that no arms were found in his room because the furniture could not be firmly closed. "Scaglioni had possession of the two bombs which were to be used by Imperatori. In fact, the proceedings of Im peratori in Paris, as proved by the police agents, show that he was incessant in preparing for the execution of the plot. As for Mazzini, the pretest which, according to custom, he made in the foreign press, both on the present conspiracy and on that of 1857, cannot prevail against the precise and corroborative declarations, the information, and particularly the written proofs collected during the preliminary pre- ceedings. " Competent judges were appointed to examine the arms seized on the conspirators. It was ascertained Ly firing two of the bombs that each of them broke into more than 44 fragments, which would prcduce the most terrific results. As for the poniards, which Greco confessed were poisoned, a gummy matter was found, and tin sheets which had served to fix a poisonous substance, but that substance, whioh had left a trac9 on the blades, had evaporated and the experts could not discover its nature. " At the time the prisoners were arrested, the execution of the plot was evidently near at hand. Trabuco was about o leave. He had announced at his hotel that he was going ,o London ; he asked far a hammer and some nails to close a box, and he wrote an address for it, which was found in his room. Scaglioni had written to his family to request they would send him money to Geneva. " Greco wrote to London to say that all was going on well, and asked for money which, in. fact, arrived on the 6th, after his arrest, under the form of a draught for 600 f., supplied by a house known to have relations with Mazzini. In fine, the bombs, which it was agreed should not be charged until the last moment, were filled with gunpowder the evening before the arrest of the prisoners. This was done by Trabuco and Greco, with the help of Scaglioni, and in presence of Imperatori. "Trabuco, for a purpose which it is difficult to under• stand, sought to maintain that he had not participated in it ; but, being confronted with his accomplices, he answered, in his last examination, I accept the answers given by my friends,' " Never was crime more skilfully prepared—never were conspirators better chosen, and supplied with arms more terrible and more sure. Never was attempt against society at large so near its accomplishment, when the vigilance of the authorities penetrated their designs, foiled their plots, and delivered over to justice the guilty. "Wherefore the persons named—lst. Pascal Greco, aged 28 years, professor of music, born at Pisa (Italy), residing in Paris, No. 176, Rue St, Honore ; 2d.

LAUNCH OF A DANISH WAIL VESSEL.-0a Wednesday afterno on en armour-plated frigate, intended for the Danish Government, was launched from the build ing yard of Messrs. J. and G. Thomson, at Govan. The length of the vessel is about 280 feet, and she is of 3,500 tons burden and 600 horse power. She is covered from stem to stern with armour plates 41 inches thick, upon a strong backing of teak and iron plating. The launch was witnessed by a large number of persons on both sides of the river, and was conducted without the occurrence of may mishap. A NEW SHYLocK.---The Edinburgh papers are enthusiastic about Mr. Alfred Wigan's performance of this great Shakespearian character. Ou Monday night, in the presence of his Royal Highness Prince Alfred and suite, this favourite actor appeared for the first time in his new part, and his impersonation of the fierce, exacting, gieedy, passionate Jew, completely carried away an intelli gent an I somewhat critical audience. Mr. Wigan. we un derstand, will arpear in another of Shakspere's characters at Liverpool, on occasion of the tercentenary festival to be celebrated there, playing the part of lago, with Mrs. Wigan as Emilia. It is another proof of the utter want of taete and judgment on the part of the committee of management at Stratford-upon-Avon, that Mr. Wigan has received no invitation to attend there. These who can recollect Mr. W;gan's performance of Felconbridge at the Princess's, certainly one of the best conceptions of character evtr realised on the Englis h stage, may naturally feel some sur prise at the omission of his name from the programme. A national dramatic festival, from which our two best artists in their respective lines—Mr. Phelps and Wigan—will be absent, will certainly not adequately represent the prestnt position of the English stage.

The establishment will contain from 30 to 40 bed .rooms. Holders of ten shares and upwards will (subject to the ballot) be admitted to the membership of the club, without entrance fee. The public dining halls will be on a scale worthy of the City, and capable of comparison with any establishment on the Continent. The Directors have purchased in one of the best and most central situations in the City, i n c l os e proximity to the principal places of business, amagnificentrangeof buildings (recently erected under the superintendence of an eminent architect) in the centre of Cheap s id e having nearly 30 , 000 , feet of floor space, and pre-eminently adapted to the re quirements of all branches of the p ro p o sed establishment. It will be for the consideration of the Directors whether it is desirable to let off the ground and basement floors, the residue of the premises providing ample space for the re quirements of the undertaking, and s h o uld these floors be so let off they will alone command a rental sufficient to guarantee a substantial dividend upon the paid-up capital. The Directors have carefully considered the probable profits and returns of this undertaking, and their most moderate calculations show a dividend of from 30 to 40 per ent. The Directors congratulate themselves on having secured the invaluable co-operation of several gentlemen whose practical knowledge and experience will be truly desirable. In consequence of a large amount of shares having been already applied for (and a most encouraging number of applications made for Club membership),the Directors are compelled to add that the list of applications for shares can remain open for a limited period only. In the meantime applications for the unallotted shares must be made to the Solicitors or Secretary; the required deposit having been previously paid to the Bankers of the Company.

THE PARIS CONSPIRACY. (From the Times Correspondent.) In the vocabulary of the Secret Police the terms "Mouchard" and " Mouton" are the two which are most familiar to those who are uninitiated in its mysteries. The word " Mouchard" is not of modern origin. A certain Antoine de Monchy, otherwise Democharis, a Doctor of Sorbonne, and Canon of Nolen in 1574, acquired an unenviable notoriety among his contemporaries by his zeal against the Reformers, and was appointed " Inquisitor of the Faith." The Reformers who were persecuted by, and who naturally hated him, gave the name of Mouchartg to those whom he employed as spies to hunt out Dissenters. In his " History of the Par liament of Paris," Voltaire says :—" The famous Mouthy was in reality an informer, a spy of the Cardinal de Lorraine, and it was for him that the nickname of Mouchard was invented, and which designated all spies. The term has become an in sult." Other authorities will have it that it comes from mouche, a fly, because the mouchard, like the fly, is ever buzzing about the ears of people. Mouton is applied to an agent who, a prisoner him self, is employed to lead the conversation of his fellows in plots and conspiracies, and to gradually tempt them to disclose their plots with the same apparent frankness he reveals his own. They follow him as a flock of sheep follow their leader. Agents of this kind are employed in most political conspiracies, and, when all is ready, they either disappear, or may be included among the arrested, as a matter of form, and when brought to trial in form against their accomplices or those who confide their secrets to them. When the plot for which the Italian prisoners will to-morrow be on their trial was diecovered the first thought that occurred to the public was that if net concocted by police agents, it may have been fomented and matured by them, and that among the accused themselves there was probably more than one who had performed the part of Mouton. How far that suspicion was founded will be seen from the following narrative, which I take textu ally from the Acte d'Accusation, or Bill of Indict ment, which will be read to-morrow in the Assize Court by the Procureur Imperial. The Acte d'Ac cusation begins thus : On 24th December, 1863, four strangers entered France at the same time by the Swiss frontier, and exhibited to the Police Commissary of St. Louis their papers, in which they were designated by the names of Greco, Trabuco, Imperatori, and Maspoli. The Commissary on reading the papers, recollected that in 1862 amen named Trabuco had been pointed out to the authorities on the frontier as en Italian conspirator of a most dangerous character; and without a moment's delay, he sent word by tele graph to the Prefect of Police that the person bear ing that name was proceeding to Paris with three companions by the Mulhouse Railroad. When they reached the Paris terminus, at half-past 5 in the morning of the 25th, a surveillance had been already organized, and from that moment till their arrest all their movements were closely watched. " They got out of the same carriage without ex changing a word with each other, and pretended to take different directions; but the four, Imperator and Maspoli in one carriage, Trabuco in another, and Greco in the railway omnibus, drove to the Hotel Sainte-Marie, Rue de Rivoli, 83 ; Imperatori, ',Weapon and Greco (under the name of Fioretti) hired rooms,in which they deposited their luggage. Trabuco, whose only luggage was a French horn and a game pouch, quitted the hotel in the course of the day. He said that he was going to London but he went to No. 198, Ree St. Honore, where Greco,who had formerly lodged there, recommended nim and hired a room for him. These arrange ments, however, were only temporary. Oa the 29th Greco presented himself at the Hotel de Naple, 176, Rue St. Honore, and hired three rooms, which were occupied the same day by him, Maspeli and Trabuco. The last-mentioned, on quitting the house, 198, took the precaution, as he had dune when leaving the Hotel Sainte-Marie, to say that he was starting for London. The next day Greco brought Imperatori with him, who was placed iu a fourth room; " In these different lodging-houses the man ner and bearing of the four strangers seemed singular. From the moment of their arrival they appeared to be hesitating, abstracted, and mysterious. At the Hotel Sainte Marie Greco had recommended the waiter to give the key of his room to nobody,' not even to his own father.' In the house 178, Rue St. Honore, ho observed to the landlady, Madame Musset, that the locks of the chests of drawers tied of other pieces of furniture were not solid enough; and he went out to buy, at a trunkmaker's, named Liard, a new box with lock and key, in which he deposited the contents of his game pouch. Wnen he installed himself at the hotel at Naples, Greco had the locks examined by a locksmith. He himself took up his things to his room. He waited to the last moment to show his papers, and those of his friends. It was only on the Ist of January that the landlady, Madame Thierry, could get Trabuco, Imperatori, and Maspoli to ex hibit their passports; and Greco, who seemed an noyed at the thought of the house-register being examined by the police inspectors, did not put hie name on it till the 2d of January. In a word, the movements of these men betrayed a feeling of un easiness. When they went abroad they managed so as to leave one of them in watch at the hotel. The servant who waited on them several times per ceived that they kept the doors of their rooms half open—even during the night—in order to be able to hear the slightest stir in the house. Out of doors their conduct was of a still more suspicious charac ter. In the hotel they were constantly together, had long conversations, and their going out and coming in were combined ; still they took the pre. caution when in the street to separate, to affect not to recognise each other, and when they approached to salute as if they were strangers. The morning after their arrival in Paris they were seen to observe with extraordinary care the approaches to the re served past of the gardens of the Tuileries. The same day they drove by the Place de la Concorde, and the central avenue of the Champs Elysees in a carriage, which by their order moved at a very slow pace, and they carefully noted every spot they thus passed over. "On the 28th of December Trabuco, having gone to the streets leading to the Opera, and on the night the Emperor was to visit it, and having remained some time at the house of a hair dresser named Ranciot, in the rue Grange-Bate liere, rejoined his friends. The four then drove to the corner of the Boulevard and the rue Lepelletier. They waited at that spot till midnight, when the Emperor left the Opera; and they were observed to look about them frequently, and with all the ap pearance of mistrust. The following morning Tra huco and Greco went to the hairdresser's, Ranciot, under pretence of getting shaved ; they then en tered the covered passage or gallery which leads from the rue Lepelletier, clone to the Opera, to the Boulevard. After waiting some time to see if they were observed, they set themselves to examine mi nutely all the passages, and particularly the private entrance reserved for the Emperor. In this they passed half an hour. On the 30th It inciot, the hairdresser, on going to the Opera with his wife, found his two customers under the peristyle, where they seemed to be on the watch. On the 2el of January Greco, Trabuco, Imperatori, and Maspoli visited the approaches to the Tuileries. But their nbstractio❑ of mind was visibly on the increase. They looked es if they felt they were watched; took circuitous drives or walks in the streets ; and when they went on foot they were ever looking back or aside as if they thought some one was dogging their steps. They were much embarrassed when paying their bill at the hotel, and seemed to be waiting impatiently fur a letter and money.
